I’ve owned my 2006 911 Carrera S for about 10 years. Seems like when the car has been driven for over 10 miles, that if I turn off the ignition (maybe to fill gas tank), and try to restart the car, I get a slower crank rate? If the car cools down for a little, the crank rate goes back to normal.

Re your car, it sounds like classic starter motor heat soak. It's not a problem unique to Porsches, but the 997 appears to be prone to it. As long as the battery is strong, then it's most likely the starter and starter cable. Age conspires against both, creating more and more electrical resistance. Heat adds to that resistance, especially inside a super hot starter, which makes it hard to crank, even for a healthy battery. If that's your issue, which would be my guess, replacing both the starter and the starter cable is probably wise.

Yes, the car starts rather quick - even with the SLOW turnover rate.

I have a 2005 CarreraS with the same problem, we replaced the wire harness that is connected to the starter solenoid . This cable is got e Y split witch gets corroded in time and is heating up reducing the electricity to pass tru. This fixed my problem.

Yep, common problem with the 997. I replaced both the cable and starter to avoid having to go back in there. Problem fixed.

Very interesting. I have an '06 997 and have had the same issue. I ordered a new Bosch starter today and am wondering if I also need the harness. Is this the harness that runs from the solenoid to both the battery and the alternator? My parts diagram is showing two different ones available:
1) harness;;PR:249 with: Connection point Alternator starter#99760701804 and,
2) harness;;PR:480 with: Connection point Alternator starter #99760701903
Any idea which is the one to go with or are there any differences at all??? Kind of a weird description the way they word things. If I'm going to dive in there, I might as well fix everything I can get my hands on!
Any input, much appreciated!

I got my harness at Pelican Parts. Here's the part number:
997 607 019 03
Mine is a Carrera S. Put your car detail in PP website and it will give you correct cable.
